  5. Philadelphia Inquirer: Fighting AI and Flock, today’s Luddites are the revolutionaries we need. “[Cody] Morelock was arrested after the June incident and then prosecutors in Clermont County, Ohio took what looked like an open-and-shut case — with surveillance tapes, credit-card receipts, and other hard evidence connecting the 35-year-old man to the alleged crime — before a grand jury of […]

  6. NPR: Amid intense backlash, people are vandalizing Flock surveillance cameras. “An increasing number of people are combating the technology in both legal and illegal ways.

  7. 🚨 A 23-year-old Florida woman spent 13 days in jail and seven months under threat of life in prison for a triple-fatal hit-and-run she had nothing to do with.

    On Oct 4, 2025, a speeding Dodge Durango caused a chain-reaction pileup on I-4 near DeBary, killing motorcyclist Joaquin Deno and Flagler County Deputy Administrator Jorge Salinas and his wife Nancy. Witnesses said the SUV was black, and a Flock license-plate reader had caught Lindsey Isaacs' black 2025 Durango about 3 miles west of the crash minutes before it happened. FHP seized her car that night and arrested her in April on eight felony counts, including three counts of vehicular homicide.

    The case fell apart quickly: her SUV had zero damage, a 911 caller had reported the fleeing SUV was maroon (with the first three digits of its plate), and maroon paint transfer was found on one of the struck cars. Charges were dropped May 22, and Alisa Montalvo, 47, was arrested instead. Her maroon Durango had its driver-side doors replaced and airbags removed or stuffed back in to hide the crash.

    The camera did what it was asked; the investigators just stopped looking once it handed them a suspect. Isaacs has since filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against FHP.

  10. Twenty Billion Scans a Month: Have We Already Lost the Farm?

    The questions arrive together, the way dread arrives. Have we already lost the farm? Can anything already recorded be dissolved and unlinked from our names? Is every Bluetooth signal tied to us, every chip in every pet a beacon, every Flock camera quietly cataloguing the bodies that walk and drive past it? And if enough of those answers are yes, why are companies pouring concrete across the desert to raise data centers the size of small cities, and what is the end of it, to track, to prosecute, to imprison? I chased the documentation and let it correct me where I was wrong. Here is what holds up. […]

  11. 404 Media: Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using Flock to Stalk People. “The contours of each story are much the same, with the police officer in question using their access to the system to repeatedly track a specific person over the course of weeks or months.
